ALL ABOUT LIFE BEYOND KINDERGARTEN! Kindergarten is the basic building block for all future learning. It is true that everything you need to know in life was really learned in Kindergarten. The trick is to remember what you learned when you were five or six. What you liked then will most likely be something you will like now. So be true to yourself and who you really are and who you will really be. Look back and you just may find your true self! Yes…this blog is about a variety of topics…because we are all a smorgasbord of thoughts and ideas.

Chocolate Angel Pie! A Favorite!

Chocolate Angel Pie was one of my mother’s favorite pies to make. It just did not last very long around our house! My parents had so much company constantly coming over that it was a good idea to hover around the kitchen! The hovering person was the lucky one to get the first slice of any pie that my mother made!

While going through my mom’s recipes looking for a special brownie recipe, I recently found the original Baker’s German Sweet Chocolate wrapper advertising the Chocolate Angel Pierecipe on the back! I was SO, SOexcited! I AM SO excited! I am going to make it today even though I have 1001 things to finish…like cleaning out closets or some other non-exciting tasks.

In other words, I have jolted the closets and everything else to another day! Making the pie is happening first!!

Recipe for Chocolate Angel Pie

Ingredients:

2 egg whites

1/8 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon cream of tarter

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts or pecans

1 bar (4 oz.) Baker’s German’s Sweet Chocolate

3 tablespoons water

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 cup heavy whipping cream

Directions:

Meringue Shell: Beat egg whites with salt and cream of tartar until foamy. Add sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, beating well after each addition. Then continue beating to very stiff peaks. Fold in vanilla and nuts. Spoon into lightly greased 8-inch pie pan to form nest-like shell; build sides up 1/2 inch above edge of pan. Bake in slow oven (300 degrees F.) for 50 to 55 minutes. Cool.

This pie sounds great and quite fattening. It is always exciting to find something from the past that brings you joy. There are things our mothers made in the kitchen that bring memories and happy times to our mind. Such a nice post. Enjoy that pie – the closets can wait! 🙂
